Re: fasting preparations questions

The better prepared a fast is, the better the fast.

Consider a double cycle of bowel, kidney and liver cleanses.
Have your diet properly sorted before hand and know how you are going to eat both for re-feeding post fast and the eventual diet.

Fasting ease depends on how well prepared you are.

The breast soreness can be due to nutritional status in particular low iodine. I would recommend a close look at the Iodine supplementation forum here.

Stopping coffee and other food issues earlier would also make your fast easier. As would making sure your body is well nourished by juices, bone broths and lots of fresh vegetables and some fresh fruit. Coated tongue and breath changes are part of the territory.

There are a number of fast records here detailing good fast preparations. A search will get you started.

All the best: that is exactly what you are doing for yourself. Well done T2.
